Walk 7 minutes NW to the Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste. Stroll through the rose garden to clear your head and enjoy the park atmosphere before heading to the main viewpoint.

Arrive at the Templo de Debod. The temple faces west, perfectly aligned for the sunset. Note that only 30 people are allowed in the area at a time, so arrive early to secure your spot. Expect a queue.

After the sun dips below the horizon, head to Casa Mingo for a late dinner. It is a chicken restaurant just a short walk away, open until midnight, perfect for a post-sunset meal.
Local tip
The temple closes at 18:00 in winter (Oct-Mar). Last admission is 15 minutes before closing, so check your timing carefully if you plan to go inside. The sunset view is best experienced from the exterior grounds before entry restrictions apply.
